Ingredients:

– 1 yellow cake mix

– 4 eggs

– 1/3 cup vegetable oil

– 1/2 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the pineapple slices)

– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

– 1 cup packed brown sugar

– 14-ounce can of pineapple slices, drained and juice reserved

– Maraschino cherries

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a large Bundt cake pan.

2. Start by placing the melted butter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Carefully sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter to create an even layer.

3. Arrange your pineapple slices in a single layer on top of the brown sugar mixture. Place Maraschino cherries in the center of each pineapple slice and anywhere else you’d like extra pops of color.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and reserved pineapple juice (approximately 1/2 cup). Mix until all ingredients are well-incorporated and smooth for about 2 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed or with a wooden spoon.

5. Carefully pour the batter over your arranged pineapple slices in the Bundt pan. Use a spatula to level out the surface of the batter so that it bakes evenly.

6. Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Once fully baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.

7. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen any bits that may have adhered to the sides. Invert your cake onto a serving platter by placing the platter on top of the pan and firmly holding both while flipping them over.

8. Gently lift the Bundt pan away from the cake and admire your beautiful Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake masterpiece.

Serve this scrumptious cake at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. This Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake is sure to become a family favorite and an impressive dessert for any occasion!
